Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of providing patient records in a registry database comprising: receiving via a network, by the registry database, a patient record from a first medical institution of a plurality of medical institutions; storing, by a processor of a computing device, the patient record in the registry database, the registry database comprising a plurality of patient records, each patient record of the plurality of patient records received from one of the plurality of medical institutions, wherein: each patient record of the plurality of patient records is associated with at least one registry group of a plurality of registry groups, and each registry group of the plurality of registry groups comprises two or more medical institutions of the plurality of medical institutions; determining, by the processor, that the first medical institution is a member of a first registry group and a member of a second registry group, associating, by the processor, at least a portion of the patient record with the first registry group such that at least a portion of the patient record is accessible by a plurality of members of the first registry group, wherein the plurality of members of the first registry group comprises a first subset of the plurality of medical institutions; and associating, by the processor, at least a portion of the patient record with the second registry group such that at least a portion of the patient record is accessible by a plurality of members of the second registry group, wherein the plurality of members of the second registry group comprises a second subset of the plurality of medical institutions, wherein the first subset and the second subset of the plurality of medical institutions are different, thereby allowing the first medical institution to pool patient data with two different subsets of the plurality of medical institutions.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising: receiving, by the processor, a request for patient data associated with the first registry group, wherein the request is associated with a second medical institution different than the first medical institution; determining, by the processor, the second medical institution is a member the first registry group; and providing, by the processor, to the second medical institution, access to the patient data.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient record includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of: patient medical condition information, pre-operative information, post-operative information, procedure type, operation information, anesthesia information, provider information, and hospital information.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein associating at least a portion of the patient record with the first registry group comprises: identifying, by the processor, one or more fields of the patient record accessible to members of the first registry group, wherein the portion of the patient record accessible by members of the first registry group includes the one or more fields.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first registry group comprises at least one of a vascular registry, an oncology registry, a national registry, and a regional registry.
6. The method of claim 1 , comprising: receiving, by the processor, a request for a report, wherein the request for the report is issued by a requesting medical institution of the plurality of medical institutions, and the request for the report identifies one or more search parameters, wherein the one or more search parameters include at least one member selected from the group consisting of: a) procedural information and b) one or more registry groups of which the requesting medical institution is a member; identifying, by the processor, patient data stored in the registry database based at least in part on the one or more search parameters; and providing, by the processor, to the requesting medical institution, the patient data stored in the registry database.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the search parameters include two or more registry groups of which the requesting medical institution is a member.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein each medical institution of the plurality of medical institutions is a member selected from the group consisting of hospital, research facility, doctor's office, university, insurance company, medical company, and pharmaceutical company.
9. A system for providing patient records in a registry database comprising: a registry database storing patient data from a plurality of medical institutions, the registry database comprising a plurality of patient records, each patient record of the plurality of patient records received from one of the plurality of medical institutions, wherein: each patient record of the plurality of patient records is associated with at least one registry group of the plurality of registry groups, and each registry group of the plurality of registry groups comprises two or more medical institutions of the plurality of medical institutions; a processor; a memory storing instructions thereon wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to: receive, via a network, by the registry database, a patient record from a first medical institution of the plurality of medical institutions; store the patient record in the registry database; determine that the first medical institutions is a member of a first registry group and a member of a second registry group: associate at least a portion of the patient record with the first registry group such that at least a portion of the patient record is accessible by a plurality of members of the first registry group, wherein the plurality of members of the first registry group comprises a first subset of the plurality of medical institutions; associate at least a portion of the patient record with the second registry group such that at least a portion of the patient record is accessible by a plurality of members of the second registry group, wherein the plurality of members of the second registry group comprises a second subset of the plurality of medical institutions, wherein the first subset and the second subset of the plurality of medical institutions are different thereby allowing the first medical institutions to pool patient data with two different subsets of the plurality of medical institutions.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to: receive a request for patient data associated with the first registry group, wherein the request is associated with a second medical institution different than the first medical institution; determine the second medical institutions is a member of the first registry group; and provide to the second medical institution, access to the patient data.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the patient record includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of: patient medical condition information, pre-operative information, post-operative information, procedure type, operation information, anesthesia information, provider information, and hospital information.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein associating at least a portion of the patient record with the first registry group comprises: identifying, by the processor, one or more fields of the patient record accessible to members of the first registry group; and wherein the portion of the patient record accessible by members of the first registry group includes the one or more fields.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first registry group comprises at least one of a vascular registry, an oncology registry, a national registry, and a regional registry.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to: receive a request for a report, wherein the request for the report is issued by a requesting medical institution of the plurality of medical institutions, and the request for the report identifies one or more search parameters, wherein the one or more search parameters include at least one member selected from the group consisting of: a) procedural information and b) one or more registry groups of which the requesting medical institution is a member; identify patient data stored in the database based at least in part on the one or more search parameters; and provide, to the requesting medical institution, the patient data stored in the registry database.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the search parameters include two or more registry groups of which the requesting medical institution is a member.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein each medical institution of the plurality of medical institutions is a member selected from the group consisting of hospital, research facility, doctor's office, university, insurance company, medical company, and pharmaceutical company.
